Recent details have emerged regarding the tragic demises of acclaimed director Rob Reiner and visual artist Michele Singer Reiner, whose bodies were found at their Brentwood, Los Angeles residence on Sunday.
A source indicates quoting a family associate, a practitioner arriving for an appointment first raised the alarm after being unable to gain access the house. This individual then reached out to the couple's daughter, Romy Reiner, who resides in the vicinity.
When she went into the house, Romy came upon her father's body. Reports state she then left the home distraught, not realizing at that moment that her mother's body was there as well. Her roommate who had accompanied her contacted 911. Afterward, emergency responders discovered Michele Singer Reiner's body.
Authorities have formally accused the couple's 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, with two counts of first-degree murder, as well as the charge related to a weapon, said to be a knife. He is presently being held and is ineligible for bail.
The person close to the family questioned several previously reported details. The source indicated that while Romy Reiner informed first responders that her brother Nick resided in a separate structure on the grounds, she did not name him as a potential suspect at that juncture.
Additionally refuted published notions that Rob and Michele Singer Reiner had been especially "concerned" about Nick's conduct in the preceding period. Instead the family was "accustomed to working through [Nick's] problems together."
This correction includes reports of alleged "erratic" conduct by Nick at a gathering hosted by Conan O'Brien on the night before the bodies were found. While the source stated they were not in a position to confirm whether Rob had "scolded" his son at the party, they maintained that claims of a "blow-up" between the two were inaccurate.
Per law enforcement officials, the medical examiner had still not confirmed as of Tuesday whether the Reiners died on Saturday evening or on Sunday. Some accounts indicated the state of their bodies pointed to they had been dead for some hours.
Nick Reiner was taken into custody at around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday in the Exposition Park area, some 15 miles from the family home. He was set to appear in court on Tuesday, but his attorney, Alan Jackson, said his client had not received medical clearance and would not be present until no sooner than Wednesday.
